Must visit while in Cordoba! The Mosque-Cathedral is welcoming for all. The blend of multiple types of religious and historical architecture is a marvel. I appreciated every moment of this visit. I wanted to pray while Inside but didn’t feel entirely comfortable doing so while people walked around freely. For Christians however there are pews set up and services that take place daily. This did not deter me from having peaceful and silent moments throughout my visit. We were concerned about dress code as it is hot in cordoba but if you dress modestly then it will be fine. We bought tickets online for 11 euros per person but the time slot may be a suggestion and not set in stone. We arrived early for our 12pm time slot. We walked in at 11am by having our QR codes scanned by security without any issue. Beware of people hanging out by the entrance that want to read your palm. If you have your palm read then separation of you and your money is in your future. Tons of shops all around the grand structure as well as many good local food options.

Impressive mosque, but very similar to a lot of others around this area of Spain. And at ten euros for a discounted entry without audio guide it’s far too expensive for what’s in there. There are some artefacts and displays at the end of the large hall but they don’t have any descriptions of what they are so it’s ultimately pointless. Church in a mosque though so that’s pretty cool , like a place of worshiped squared ⛪️^2

One of the most interesting cultural attractions I’ve visited. The building is enormous and features such a wealth of history dating back thousands of years. The architecture of the property is incredible too and a clash of different styles really adds to experience. Thoroughly enjoyable and I would recommend hiring an audio guide to be able to fully understand the context and historical background surrounding each and every area of the building.

I am writing to share with you my recent visit to The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a truly remarkable and authentic building that left a lasting impression on me. The architecture of the mosque-cathedral is simply outstanding, with its blend of Islamic and Christian influences creating a unique and breathtaking atmosphere. I was particularly struck by the simplicity and beauty of the floors and walls, which added to the overall serene ambience of the place. One aspect that stood out to me was the peacefulness and tranquility within the mosque-cathedral. I found myself wanting to return on my own to spend more time in silence, soaking in the historical and spiritual significance of the place. I also noticed the thoughtfulness put into accessibility within the building. The limited number of stairs made it easier for those with disabilities to navigate the space comfortably. On a practical note, I did not come across any bathrooms inside the mosque-cathedral during my visit. Additionally, I observed that there was no souvenir store inside the building itself, although there were some wonderful options available outside. Overall, my experience at The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba was truly unforgettable, and I look forward to the opportunity to revisit this architectural masterpiece in the future.

A very interesting place to visit while in Cordoba, Spain. The interior of this cathedral/mosque really shows the unique mixture of Islamic and Catholic, which definitely speaks about the story that happened in this place. The iconic red and white arcs that you can find everywhere in this building are very eye-pleasing, and photogenic too! In the centre of the building there is also a very beautiful altar and congregation area. You can't miss this place when travelling to Spain. The garden before you enter this building is undeniably beautiful, we came here during winter (December), and the trees were full of vibrant oranges, really can't stop staring at them. There is also a small "town" where you can find some souvenirs and restaurants to eat. Overall, a very unique and beautiful place to come and see!

This is one of the more beautiful and interesting buildings in Spain. The textures and decorations that blend the Muslim and Christian places of worship are gorgeous. Red and white double arches will follow you everywhere inside. In the rear as you enter you'll find lots of exhibit, treasures on display, and side rooms. The main pews are in the center and surrounded by fine details you'd expect in a world class church. It's a must visit, buy a ticket in advance.

Fantastic experience! the entrance fee is 20 euro and you will be given a time when you can enter the cathedral. You can spend as much time as you like. Both the Muslim part and the Catholic part of the structure are impressive in their own right, but the courtyard in front to f the temple is also impressive and should not be treated as an afterthought. It will take you at least an hour to properly tour the cathedral. If you visit on Sunday you will be asked to leave before the first mass begins, which I believe is at noon.

Truly one of a kind. One of the most unique examples of architecture and history in all of Spain. Highly recommend a visit. It is within about a 20 minute walk from the train station. Would buy tickets a week or more in advance as times can fill up. Plan to spend at least an hour and a half here, or more if you like to read. One of my favorite attractions I've seen in my travels!

The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is an awe-inspiring place steeped in rich history. Upon entering, you are immediately captivated by the distinct design features left behind by all those who once conquered this magnificent venue. Though now predominantly a cathedral, it gracefully preserves a significant portion of Islamic influence, resulting in a captivating blend of both Christian and Islamic heritage. The remaining Islamic structures are a sight to behold, exuding absolute beauty and making the ticket price well worthwhile. Don't miss the opportunity to ascend the bell tower, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Córdoba city. The vantage point allows you to observe the sprawling old city and truly grasp its vastness. To fully grasp the significance of the Mosque-Cathedral, consider either booking a guided tour or using a self-guided tour headset, as they offer in-depth explanations of each aspect during your exploration. Relying solely on a map might leave you feeling overwhelmed. Take pleasure in exploring the external gardens without any additional cost; they offer a tranquil space for reflection. Tickets for the bell tower are an additional attraction, and I highly recommend experiencing it, especially after traveling all this way. Keep in mind that if you plan to visit both the cathedral and the bell tower, book the tower tickets at least an hour before or after your cathedral visit. Unfortunately, exiting the cathedral and re-entering later is not allowed. Parking can be challenging, as there is no direct parking available nearby. Opt for one of the various paid car parks, and be prepared to walk approximately 15 minutes. Alternatively, free parking can be found further away on the surrounding residential streets, though the walk to the Mosque-Cathedral will be longer. After your enriching visit, take the time to explore the charming local town, offering a plethora of quaint cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, and picturesque cobbled streets. Overall, the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is a must-visit attraction that will leave an indelible impression on anyone exploring the beautiful city of Córdoba.

Amazing monument harmoniously combining Muslim and Christian architecture, symbolism, and prayer halls. We were hugely impressed with the building and the history. This building was a church, then became a mosque, and was then converted to a cathedral. But the construction and architecture revealed the three periods even today. Especially beautiful was the coexisting of mosque and cathedral right next to each other, with the cathedral mostly covering the heart and highest part of the Mezquita, while the mosque sits around that. We spent maybe two hours here.

If your a history lover this place is to be added to your list, this architectural marvel has gone from being a mosque to church to then a cathedral with its giant minaret turned church bell tower to its Islamic columns inside next to giant catholic relics and symbols all harmoniously blending together. Stepping inside was a moment of peace you can’t describe, the place is absolutely stunning with tall ceilings and proper lightning inside to set a mood. The green courtyard is spacious and has a water feature to take pics. This place is not to be missed I feel blessed to have witnessed this important piece of Spanish history.

This building is truly exceptional. We had a local guide (Lola) who brought to life the long history of the mosque and its adaptation into a cathedral. The size of the building is truly amazing and there is so much to see and learn within, you could easily spend an hour or two taking all of that in.

Fantastic former mosque changed into katholic Church. The €11 entry per adult is absolutely worth it. You can easily spend an hour indoors to explore. Definitely also book the bell tower too directly. We didn't make it because we didn't know about it and when we came back to book it was booked out for the day. The bell tower must give a great overview of Cordoba. We will definitely come back!

I did not get a chance to go inside but I know tickets are €13. The outside is still so cool to walk around & explore. This place is enormous & it’s so crazy to think that architecture like this was done in the past without technology & still standing today. The town is also known for their bitter oranges here & has a mini orange tree in the middle courtyard. Would definitely recommend visiting! And it’s also right next to the bridge where games of thrones was shot apparently.

Thoroughly interesting building unlike any other I've seen before. Beautiful Islamic art and panelling on display. The arches are quite overwhelming in number but add such beauty to the building. Not crowded at all inside. Book ahead. The courtyard outside is also lovely for a shady walk.

You can't miss visiting a world heritage awarded monument when you are near by and this is no exception. It dies not look like anything from the outside. It's just a solid perimeter wall 8 m high penned in by all the shops and narrow lanes. As you enter the gate as if by magic it suddenly opens out to a courtyard full of orange trees. In regular rows rising up and spreading out. Walk into the Mosquita and you see a forest full of columns arching up the roofs. There is lots to see here and you should allow about two hours. Magical building that spans the ages.

Full of history and spectacular architecture. It was one of the most unique historical places I have visited. Getting to see the blend of Islamic and Christian influences in the architecture and reading about the history makes you kinda travel through time!

Absolutely stunning. Exquisite architecture, carvings in stone, wood and more. A fascinating and “must see” place to visit. Very interesting historically and much larger than it seems from the outside so give yourselves a good hour or more. Also worth getting tickets for the Bell Tower. Fabulous views - and you get up close to the enormous bells themselves. We were there as soon as it opened and didn’t have to queue for tickets. All very easy.

Gorgeous place, really unique and beautiful! Book your tickets in advance to make sure you get a spot without queuing. I recommend taking an audio guide to understand the story of the place and how/when/why the enlargement works occurred.

This place is definitely awesome and authentic. It was my second visit with parents, and it was not busy although seemingly a lot of people by the yard and the entry process was uncomplicated with digital ticket QR code. But is it worth the €13 price tag? As a visitor who visited around 40 minutes admiring the architecture and intricate arts with some photos, but will forget the history anyway, I think €13 is not worth it in my opinion. Some visitors who would get value from history and spending time studying the arts & architecture. But not for a regular visitor like me.

Extraordinary monument witnessing Islamic and Christian art and faiths. Of unique beauty and significance, one feels immerged in history, diverse cultures and traditions. Must see, give it 2-3 hours and enjoy the garden too.

Quite a masterpiece to be honest. The history is a bit blah but overall it is quite impressive. Spent almost 2hrs here. Highly recommend getting tickets early. We got the audio guide when we showed up and I'd say it was worth the price. But we shared the audio guide.

The Great Mosque of Cordoba represents a unique artistic achievement due to its size and the sheer boldness of the height of its ceilings. The thousand year old mosque-cathedral is definitely worth to pay a visit. The price of thirteen euros per person is not Overly pricy. You can take e a lot of amazing photos and pictures in the building. Our tour guide was amazing and great. She explained a lot about the history and all the small details in the mosque. So k recommend going with a tour guide, although not super necessary.

Very unique architectural piece. Mosque that was built and gradually expanded over three centuries to grow to a size of three football fields and Catholic Cathedral built inside the mosque. Cathedral with all its splendor highlighted by mahogany wood from Cuba. This site alone makes Cordoba a must see and city has so much more to offer

The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba left an indelible mark on my heart. This enchanting monument is a true testament to the seamless integration of Islamic and European Catholic architecture, creating an atmosphere that is both spiritually captivating and historically rich. The craftsmanship within the cathedral is nothing short of extraordinary. Every corner holds a treasure trove of precious items and icons, each telling a story of dedication and artistic brilliance. The meticulous handcrafting evident throughout the cathedral adds an authentic touch, making the experience all the more immersive. The central church, with its awe-inspiring presence, stands as a symbol of the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultural influences. Walking through the intricate archways and marveling at the intricate details, I found myself in constant amazement. In all my travels, I've never been as profoundly impressed by a monument as I have by the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. It's not just a building; it's a living testament to the beauty that emerges when different cultures converge. A must-visit for anyone seeking a blend of history, art, and spiritual wonder.

The most beautiful and unique cathedral experience. Mosque converted to Christian church, in stunning Cordoba. On a weekday we walked up to the ticket booth and bought tickets for the day of visit. High season visitors should purchase in advance from official site.

A must visit in Cordoba and one of great historical significance in light of human, religious, and architectural history. I highly recommend paying for a tour guide with a notable company. My tour guide was solely responsible for my awesome and educational experience. I did not go up the tower as I didn't have time to wait for entry but I'll definitely return one day so I can check out the view from up above. I recommend arriving early though it doesn't take too long to tour the entire mosque cathedral. The surrounding area is very interesting and worth exploring as well. The surrounding cities remind me of parts in the Assassin's Creed game series.

Incredible palace. One of the best I’ve seen in Europe. The gardens are exquisite and pleasant to stroll through. We arrived at 11:30 (buy tickets online to avoid the ticket line) and we entered with a lot of people. Within an hour everyone dispersed and it felt somewhat empty. The weather was amazing so we spent a lot of time in the gardens. Don’t forget to check out the maze. That’s a fun thing to do. After spending some time with the peacocks and checking out the bathhouses, we made our way back inside and revisited the many different rooms as well as the bath house. Everything is so well maintained and the entire facility is its own maze but well worth the visit and worth getting lost inside. My favorite room was the tapestry room. That contained tapestries from several hundred years ago and also told stories from great battles to eloquent religious images. Upstairs contained the plates, dishes, tiles, and other smaller items. It also included great views of the courtyard as well as other views of the gardens. As you near the exit of the property, there’s a really nice cafe and the exit puts you in another courtyard with lots of street art and vendors selling cool goodies. We bought a picture/painting so now my wife gets to lug that around for the rest of our trip lol

We visited here in 2019 and again today. I loved it the first time and just as much the second time too. It’s an amazing palace and gardens. So much to look at. Seville was pretty quiet when we visited in July but this was the one place that was busy, although we queued for 30 mins for a ticket to enter immediately- so better than our previous visit in March. The palace is more busy than the gardens and on the second visit we spent more time outside sitting in the tranquil gardens. Easy to spend a delightful 3 hours here.

Beautiful palace and grounds. Pictures can't depict the beauty and intricacies in architecture and tile work. We took an audio tour with a guide. It allowed us to "skip the line" but we would have been happy exploring on our own. We walked the city a few days later and came across two weddings at the Palace. One was ending and one was just about to start. It was a lovely sight.

This was by far my favourite attraction in Seville. The gardens in particular are beautiful and we spent a few hours wandering around. The buildings themselves don't have the grandeur of the Alhambra but are still well worth a visit. It is best to buy a ticket in advance online as there were quite large queues when we visited. Also good to arrive early to avoid the huge crowds.

This is 100% worth it! It was so beautiful we could spend forever in there if we could. I recommend buying tickets in advanced as they sell out fast. We were able to buy tickets the day before but we went during off season. Give yourself at least 2hrs here there is so much to see!

Bought tickets on line but very quiet the day I visited, so was able to walk straight in. Some stunning architecture; don't forget to look up and check out the beautifully ornate ceilings! One of the highlights for me was walking around the gardens. Free entry, but not until after 4pm, on a Monday; may try next time, but for a first visit, give yourself plenty of time to wander around leisurely. (I was there for nearly 4 hours - recommend you take drinks and snacks, to sit and enjoy in the gardens).

Highlight of Seville and a must! Allow a good few hours to take it all in and explore leisurely as it gets very busy! We visited around lunchtime and by mid afternoon it was very busy and the queue outside was huge. The architecture and gardens are stunning. You can see why this is a popular backdrop for film and TV. We could have happily stayed here all day to take in the sights. Its stunning.

Great experience, got visit a part of history. The architecture is fascinating. You could see the different eras that have lived and passed through it. The gardens are so beautiful, and each one is special to an era of history. I'm giving it 4 stars because as the payment is done by card only it creates a bit of a hassle for tourists that have cash only so I've seen people on the line with me that have left for this reason.

Such an amazing place to have visited! Really fascinating to visit this old palace and it’s immaculately kept gardens which are well worth a visit. Peacocks roam the grounds adding to the beauty and there’s a lot to explore. Really interesting architecture as well which dates back thousands of years.

Breath taking experience! This palace is first known to me by the scene shot in game of thrones. When I am here, I see so much more and so much better. Unlike typical royal garden, this one consists of many little cozy courtyard that is familiar to normal class people. You will definitely enjoy yourself by wandering inside or simply sit somewhere sunny.

This place is stunning. Great architectural features and a garden that everyone dreams of having. I recommend going right when they open for the best chance at getting pictures with minimal people around as later in the day it will be very busy. I also recommend booking the royal chambers tour and getting a look at the private areas of the royal family. You need to book this tour online and try to get it atleast 60 days in advance. Don’t show up late or you might miss your chance as they only let max of 10 people in at a time.

A beautiful part in Sevilla and an important must do for any tourist visiting the city. The castle is beautiful in every way, from the lovely gardens to the mosaic art to the walkways and squares. The Alcázar is extensive, its beauty is breathtaking and is one of the most important places to see in all of Spain. I’d recommend buying tickets well in advance, and go for early times around opening (9:30 am). Remember to bring some form of ID as they will check for it and buying tickets in advance is surely a must for this exhibit.

Super visit, recommend buying tickets in advance as they sell out quickly. Timed entrance, with a fast moving queue. Quite busy going through the different rooms. Gardens very peaceful. There is also an option to view the gardens at night when they are illuminated. Audio commentary available via an app for 6 Euros or 7 Euros for a mobile device.

Absolutly wonderful! If you tend to take your time and go slow (like me) plan on this visit being at least a solid 2 hours of your day. Everything is SO beautiful it is amazing. I didn't get the ticket that includes the royal rooms because those get booked up in advance, but don't worry if you can't either, the general ticket is so worth it as well. Don't miss this on your trip to Sevilla!!

We bought our tickets online same day (it’s typically a little cheaper to buy online) We bought our tickets at 9:50 am on a Monday for 10:30 am entrance. We walked in at 10:15am. It is a lot bigger than it looks, so be prepared for a lot of walking. It’s beautiful and has so much history. There is so much to look at you could easily spend a few hours there. The garden is giant, it has a small cafe and gift shop. There are ducks and peacocks walking around. The audio tour was 6€ on an app you can buy once you enter. I do recommend going early (if in the summer) because it gets very hot as the day progresses. We spent 2hours looking at everything and eating at the cafe and I still don’t think we saw everything, but we saw enough that I don’t feel like we missed anything.

A true must see in the heart of Seville, you do not want to be frugal on this one, it is really worth it. Beautiful place no matter where you go and very big too, it could be hard to visit every room and garden without a map (which you can take at the entrance). Apart from the magnificent interior and gardens, you can find many peacocks just chilling somewhere near the trees and bushes. And for the tickets it would be smart to buy them in advance.

Bottom line: Recommend! Now, get online and reserve a ticket ASAP because it's a very popular attraction and if you want to reserve a time slot you should book it in advance! We came on a Saturday late morning and saw a huge queue to get it. We tried to buy tickets online using our phone but they require you to fill in passport or ID details which isn't very comfortable on mobile, so we went to the ticket office. There we waited around 30 min to buy a ticket for the same day (you can't buy for another day other than the same day). Also, you must show them a passport or an ID (if it's on mobile it's fine). We then arrived at our designated time of 17.30 (in the summer it's better to go early morning or late evening otherwise it's too hot!) and other than scanning the tickets no one asked for our IDs. So what is it needed for?? The place itself - after seeing Alhambra castel in Granada, this fort/palace was less impressive but nonetheless beautiful and unique. As opposed to Alhambra in which you can only go in 1 direction, here you can go wherever you want to and from wherever you want. This might be a bit confusing and you can easily miss some parts as this is a huge palace, but the free map (take one) might help (don't miss the wine cellar before going out to the garden). There is a bar outside in the gardens but it closed around 19.00 so make sure you go there before if you want to enjoy some drinks and snacks. Enjoy 😊

A wonderful place that I'd recommend visiting with a reputable tour guide. Apparently this place or palace or castle is still in use by the royal family. I arrived early and had to wait for the doors to open, but this was a good thing as my group had most of the place to ourselves without any other people. Photography and video is allowed which is great because I took many photos. I wish I had more time at this location as there's much to see. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of the history lesson from my tour guide and won't be able to regurgitate any historical information in my review.

The palace is beautiful and colourful, full of mosaic art. The gardens are big and wonderful full of different types of plants, birds, art, and water fountains. Fun fact: this is a filming location for Game of Thrones Season 5. Recommending to visit!

Bought tickets online and was glad as queue was very long without. You need your passport or ID to get in. Inside is stunning in the Moorish tradition. Climb the wall and take some pictures as the view over the gardens is great. Don’t miss the historic tile exhibition if you are interested in design.

Absolutely excellent. I highly recommend getting tickets which allow you to go into the royal chamber. We did not have a tour guide through the palace, but I would recommend one We did love the gardens, which was a high point for us as they go on and on, and are just a joy to spend time in. The detail in the palace is unbelievable, a must see when in Sevilla

Awesome place. Get the tickets in advance probably with several days. One of the most famous spots in Sevilla, a must. The ticket price is around 15€ and it’s pretty good considering all the things you have to see inside. It took us around 2hrs to visit all.

This place is beyond magical. If these walls could talk, I'd stay and listen forever! The architecture is stunning and the gardens are quite tranquil. This place is a must see! As of this review, price for entry is €14.50 when purchased at the official website which ends in .org. There is no need to pay more. Enjoy!

It is the most impressive landmark in the city. Definitely worth a visit even if slightly crowded. While it’s beautiful to explore independently, I’d definitely come back and get a guided tour! Definitely book in advance as tickets are often sold out!

This place is utterly amazing and stunning. Peacocks wander the grounds which is breathtaking. Game of thrones fans will love it as user many times and understandable as it's one of the most beautiful places I have visited. Book in advance definitely. Eat before. It's bigger than you imagine at least 3 hrs to enjoy abd take sunscreen and water.

A must see heritage site. Highly recommended. It would be better to get your tickets online and in advance. Though we did not spent too much time to get ours from ticket office. The garden and the building are so amazing and absorbing. Make sure you have enough time to spend because there a lot to see and enjoy.

Magnificent and extensive site packed with historical and religious significance both Christian and Muslim. Beautiful stonework, tiles and architecture. A lovely place to spend 2-3 hours wandering the Palace and grounds. We visited end of February so the queue moved quickly and it was easy to move around.

As i like to say, finish up from the cathedral then head up the tower for the dessert of the view! Keep in mind, it's 30-35 floors up on a ramp (not stairs) so be prepared for that. There are places to stop for a minute and catch your breath, though at the top, the view alone will take it all away again! Wonderful 360 view sight of Seville from a distance, where modern meet the old and vice versa. The cathedral on the other hard, like never seen before. Shockingly, when I first entered I thought this isn't what i expected, but when you walk in the main hall of the cathedral, you start to appreciate it quite nicely. From entry point, all the way inside, keep an eye out on the tainted windows, the ceilings above you and the overall design of the place. Also, walk around in order and look at the beautifully designed walls, Columbus tomb and much more! Always, book in advance your spots to avoid a line and waiting.

A must do to get out of the intense midday heat! Be warned, you'll be climbing up the tower for a far while and it's pretty steep but worth it. A really pretty view to admire the cathedral from above and Seville. Pretty busy so book in advance!

A beautiful tower built in the minaret style. It's part of the stunning Seville Cathedral. I would highly recommend leaving some time to go up to the top as it affords stunning views over the city of Seville.

You need to be physically fit to get to the top, as it's a 35 staircase equivalent (ramps, not stairs, so technically wheelchair accessible, but the incline is steep) up to the top. The views were gorgeous and worth it though! Buy tickets in advance

Do NOT miss it! Do it! Climb it! You will regret if you don't, and yes this is not that easy if you are not young or not that fit. This is high but as you climb ramps (around 34 short ramps) and not stairs, and as you can stop several time on your way up at the many windows, you'll be able to do it. And you'll need patience, not endless but a significant amount as many others will be there, on the way up, on the way down, and especially at the top. They'll stay quite a long time mesmerized by the stunning views on the 4 sides of this tower. But it will be worth your time, patience and effort. Just look at the pictures.

Definitely worth seeing. We paid for the audio tour and it was absolutely worth it too. There is a lot of information and things we would have missed had we not had it. Keep in mind you have to pay in card for it not cash so be sure to have one on you. Be sure to visit the tower to appreciate the view of the city. However, keep in mind it is a LONG walk up to it. There is only 20 steps at the end and the rest of the tower you go up by ramps but it is something to consider if you have some sort of physical limitation. There was a long line we had to do to get our tickets because they were sold out online but don’t let it deter you. The line went all the way outside but it only took us 15-20 mins to get through it. The process was super smooth.

The Cathedral was nice but the tower was a bit better as you got a nice view of the city. Only issue is the climb. It isn't hard but very slow moving and lots of people/traffic. Otherwise we got timed tickets to go inside. We had no trouble getting into the tower and no line up but it seemed others did. The Cathedral was nice but there are nicer ones in Spain.

MUST SEE ATTRACTION IN SEVILLA! Climb the tower ramps (not terribly steep but kind of long) to go to the top. The view is breathtaking. I dressed modestly (long pants, shirt with sleeves, and closed-toe shoes) due to other cathedrals I had been in, but many people were dressed in tank tops, shorts and dresses and had no problem.

A cultural experience to behold, but bring your walking shoes! You enter thru the cathedral and head up an incline that's about 30 stories. It's a challenge but definitely worth the trek. The gift shop does sell water at a very reasonable price, so don't be afraid to get a bottle before heading up. The history, architecture, and views are a highlight of any trip. You can see so much of Seville it's quite an experience!!!

The Giralda is the bell tower of Seville Cathedral. It is the former minaret of a mosque completed in 1198. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a bit of a climb up, but we'll worth it. There are fantastic views of Seville from the top. Make sure to include when buying ticket for the cathedral.

Pictures can't depict how spectacular this is. This was a definite high point while visiting Seville. We participated in an audio tour with a guide. I don't think that is necessary. We certainly received information we would not have otherwise and we were able to "skip the line" but I think exploring on your own may be a better option.

One of the amazing towers in the world with an incredible view of Seville city! This is one of the highlights & most visited monuments of Seville. It is a bell tower of one of the largest cathedrals in the world. With 37 storeys, the ascend & descend is comfortable.

One of the attractions no one can miss in Sevilla. Buy the tickets in advance and get there at least 10 minutes before your entry time. You first go up the tower (there are no stairs, the whole way up is with ramps) and then visit the cathedral. Take your time, it's the 3rd biggest in the world. We spent around 2h total there. The view from up there is great.

Beautiful views, amazing architecture and good value - must do! €12 gets you into the cathedral and the surrounding grounds. Do not miss going up the Giralda Tower - the views are fantastic, also make sure you stop in the side windows and take in some of the unique views of the cathedral and neighbouring buildings! The cathedral itself is rich with artefacts and religious items if you're into that. The intricate workmanship of everything here is amazing and well preserved!

Great views of the city and a lovely breeze on a hot day. Climbing this tower isn't as difficult as it sounds although there is no lift. Rather than steps, you climb up sloped ramps, 35 of them as you go up. You could see plenty of elderly people and parents with kids so it is well worth it

Enter in from the Cathedral and walk up about 35 floors which are all via ramps. Once you get to the top, you have to climb stairs. The view itself is great but it was insanely crowded and you had to wait to get into each viewpoint. There is a chain fence that partially obstructs your view and that takes away some of the charm but you can still get pictures in the gaps. The walk down is actually the hard part, especially on your knees since it's all a decline. Many older people went up so it is doable but you do feel rushed while up there.

Full of Gothic style details, very tall and majestic, perfect and with attractive proportions. Be sure to buy ticket in advance to climb the minaret. Unfortunately, I could not get a ticket and I missed the experience of seeing sky line of Seville 🥺😔

First thing you do when visiting the Cathedral. There are no steps, just ramps going up on four sides of the square tower. It turned out to easier than I had imagined. So do it! When viewing outside, you can see the 'call to prayer minar' section, with the bell tower added to the top. Was told by guide, that this was a part of the old mosque retained, as it was earthquake proof...which the Christians couldn't master.

Here's a fun fact for you on this one... do you know how many steps you'd need to take to get to the top of this tower?! Nope, not 300, not 400, or 500, but a grand total of 3 and no, they don't have an elevator. So go see it yourself and you'll find out why. Hint: the answer may involve a donkey. Fun aside, I think they need to manage the influx of people better. There were way too many people at the top, you had to wait to get a spot to see the view. Definitely worth a visit but be prepared to stack behind people for a little while.

The exterior building is spectacular. To see the top of the tower however was disappointing. When you get to the top there is a metal net covering the view making it hard to take good pictures. You have to put your camera against the net to get a decent picture of the views. Going up and down the tower can be difficult at busy times so try to visit early before the rush. Spectacular cathedral inside with beautiful decorative paintings and statues. My advice is to get a guide to help beat the queues

Climbing all 30+ floors of the Giralda was a tough ask on a hot day in Seville but so worth the 360 degree views of the city. No wait at all and included in the entry price of the Cathedral so good value as well. Would recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Worth visiting. If you are healthy and in shape you will enjoy it much more. 35 floor climbing to the top is physically breathtaking. But recommended to be done. Find your way through the cathedral. They will check your ticket at the entrance again.

Interesting and beautiful tower which gives you and overview of the city. The tower has a ramp leading up the 82 Meters instead of stairs, which is an interesting feature. It might get very crowded during high season, as it was full and hard to get a window space up top in february. I went with a tour I was very satisfied with, so I cant say much about the lines.

Well, it was under reconstruction so one side was covered with scaffoldings during our stay. We saw very long queue so decided not to go on tour (also because of reconstruction) so cannot really say how it is indoor. From outside it is astonishing and one of the biggest cathedrals I saw, really massive structure.

The views are incredible. Thirty-four floors to climb, but it's relatively gentle inclined and wide ramp rather than a narrow winding staircase. Plenty of resting places and viewing platforms on the way up / down. Be careful of the bells though, very very loud if they chime while you're up there!

Beautiful in every area you walk. Shows how the Muslims architecture was there most advanced at the time. Detailed writings carved beautifully throughout the palace. The gardens were amazing to walk through and the fountains were very nice with water running through the marble floors which was like cooled floors! I would go there again and I'm sure to see new things.

Truly beautiful with water gardens, fountains, courtyards, mosaics and stunning architecture. Incredibly well preserved and accessible albeit located on a hill so quite physically challenging for those with disabilities. parking is locally available and close to the site and the guided tours are well worth considering as there is so much history. Takes a minimum of 3-4 hours to enjoy fully so plan a full day and enjoy some lunch break in-between. Mid summer can be very hot and there is limited shade so be sure to use sunblock and consider taking a parasol.

Not only is this one of the most beautiful human made structures I have ever seen. It is also a remarkable heritage that holds century old stories through several civilizations. I personally loved the architectural richness and the visual representations representations and ancient (sacred geometry like) patterns sculpted in the walls. Book your tickets in advance for a chance to visit this place that is just out of this world! It may feel a bit busy in some areas, so if you don’t like crowds, try to go early in the morning.

I'm surprised that anyone would have anything negative to say about this place. Yes, you have to reserve your tickets ahead of time and yes they will check your ticket at several checkpoints throughout the visit, but this place is absolutely MAJESTIC. It is one of the most beautiful displays of art and architecture I have ever seen. The structure and art are pristinely kept and the visit is very organized. I recommend reading about it before your visit you can truly understand the value of this building and everything about it. Rich in history, rich in details, rich in everything. Don't miss it. Reserve your tickets at least one month in advance, but you can do it way ahead of that. What a beautiful experience!

We booked our tickets 3 months in advance as the visits are limited, and only visits with a tour guide are allowed. It's a fascinating, magical place, full of history, considered one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces in the historic Islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. It’s good to see but does it worth all the trouble to get in, I’m not sure. Our tour guide was funny and enthusiastic, yet he persisted in naming it the most beautiful spot on earth, revealing at the end that he didn't see elsewhere.

A Place Of Pure History It's Like Going Back In Time. You Need A Good Entire Day To Do All The Palaces. Highly Recommended To Do All Of The Palaces. Buy tickets in advance also don't forget you must bring your passport as evidence to get in.

This place is magical! I had been there a couple times and it is breathtaking. Seriously, you can't get enough of it. I strongly recommended walking up to it and back down to and from downtown Granada through the national park between the Alhambra and the town, such a beautiful hike!

Great experience. Plan on at least three hours here. There are many things to see and experience. The general life gardens were our favorite. We came in March, it was cold but we still enjoyed it.

Awesome place and definitely the place to go in your visit to Granada. Don’t do like me and get the tickets in advance with a minimum of one month at least. You can be there more than 2 hours for sure. Try to avoid heat hours in summer.

Gorgeous park near the Plaza de Espana. Beautiful gardens, ponds and fountains. A lot of welcome shade to get a rest from the heat and hot Seville sun.

Beautiful park system and a reason to love visiting Sevilla. Great way to spend an afternoon, worth a visit even if you only have 30 minutes to walk the park.

Maria Luisa Park in Seville is a captivating oasis blending history and nature. Vibrant gardens, iconic Plaza de España, and serene ambience make it a must-visit for a delightful escape. Maria Luisa Park also offers a range of facilities for visitors. Horse carriage rides add a touch of romance and elegance, letting you explore the park in style. Restrooms are conveniently located, ensuring comfort during your visit. The park's well-maintained walking paths wind through enchanting gardens, making it a haven for leisurely strolls and tranquil contemplation. With benches scattered throughout, it's easy to find a peaceful spot to relax and soak in the beauty. Whether you're captivated by its historic architecture, serene water features, or picturesque landscapes, Maria Luisa Park ensures a memorable and enjoyable experience for all who step within its bounds.

Beautiful Park! But beware as it is very hot in Summer in the afternoon. The trees shade is not enough as there is no wind nor breeze at all. As usual in Seville, I'd recommend to visit it only if you are 2 days and more in Seville as there are much more impressive places to visit. Unless of course if Parks are your thing and trump superb architecture and lively streets ;-) We were there enough days and therefore could visit it thoroughly and enjoy this relaxing and pastoral place. And again, better to visit it in the morning or late afternoon.

Parque de María Luisa is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking natural beauty, history, and tranquility in the heart of Seville. It spans approximately 100 acres. There are many beautiful blooming plants, antique vases, waterfalls, picturesque ponds adorned with fountains, and colorful flower beds. It's so peaceful. Too many to mention.

A very large lovely city park in the heart of Seville. The lush greenery with many rose gardens, trees from around the world and so many orange trees. Take time to notice the many green parrots flying around and notice the beautiful banyan trees. At the duck pond we saw many varieties of ducks with their ducklings but the highlight was a beautiful white swan sitting on a nest of 5 eggs with her male close by. A lovely place to stroll and lay in the grass before or after visiting the Plaza de Espana.

It’s probably the most beautiful park I’ve visited in Spain - I’m absolutely in love with the giant trees they have all over the park. There are plenty of places to sit and relax or just look at the many ducks/swans that live here. The park is well maintained, it’s clean and has several bins around. I wish we’d have more parks like this in every city - modern parks tend to have more concrete and small-growing trees unlike here. One suggestion would be to place the information about the trees in English as well.

Sevilla is probably the most beautiful city in Spain, excluding Madrid and Barcelona, even it's questionable as well. Really impressive Palace as all city. You must see it for sure.

Big fan of this park! It’s massive and there are tons of places to sit, take pictures, and embrace the nature around you. You can take a row boat out or watch ducks/birds. It’s nice for walking and probably running if you’re into that.

Beautiful park! Every pond and garden area of this park is amazing. Great place for photos or a relaxing day to take in the scenery.

Beautiful park! The trees and ponds look really cool and it's a perfect place to cool off or escape the city noise. There are also some swans and water fountains. Like with many of the other parks in Sevilla, you get the sense that they put a lot of effort and character behind it.

Beautiful park with amazing plants and trees from all over the world. A great place to stroll and take in some of the beauty and atmosphere of elegant Seville.

Whilst in Seville on vacation last week, I went through this beautiful park after visiting the Plaza de Espana. It's all interlinked by gates too. Stunning area with trees, avenues, museums (at far end), mini plazas, fountains, statues and waterfalls. Plenty of shade from the Sun too. Refreshment stalls around too in places though not used. Well recommended.

One of the most beautiful parcs that I have visited. Many different parts with lots of room to chill on the grass. It has beautiful altars all over the place and lots of different trees. Next to that, it has beautiful buildings and great fountains. You can walk here for hours and still find new things. It's awesome

A nice park covering a large area with plenty of green space to sit, walk. The trees are amazing with a variety providing shade on sunny days. The park is filled with runners, walkers, explorers on their feets, in horse driven carriages, rental bikes. The entry to the park is free and there are many interesting areas like the waterfalls, various buildings. One could spend 3 hours to more than half a day wandering through the park and having a picnic. It's recommended to bring water as there are limited shops in the park.

Beautiful park to wander through (especially if seeing the Plaza de España) as it has plazas, gardens (including palm trees, orange tees), Moorish/ceramic tiled fountains, monuments. There is quite a bit of shade throughout and many seats, so nice to visit even on hot days.

Lovely relaxing park to wander around or sit in the cooler shade. Well worth venturing down to the quieter American building built for the Ibero-American expo 1929, as per the main stunning plaza. Stunning at dusk too.

A lovely park in the centre of Seville, lots of accessible walkways through beautiful gardens, with many lakes, water features and a small waterfall.

Plaza de España in Seville stands out as one of the most captivating places in the city. Its charming ambiance transports you to the rich history of old Spain—definitely a must-see.

Stunning green space where you can find both dynamics and peace. It is a spacious square with open view. There are wild animals and status hidden as well which makes this place adorable. There are so many things to see around. An amazing place to slow down and enjoy life and time here. Make sure you have enough time planned for this park!!

Extensive park with beautiful flora. Many fountains and water areas attract many birds and animals. The only issue we had was the public restrooms were closed and we had to leave the park and come back after finding one.

Very nice park full of fountains/decorated pools, abundant vegetation, birds island, perfected by adjacent Plaza de España beautiful landmark. Must visit in my opinion.

Beautiful and amazing park to visit, to walk or even a picnic. Set nicely away from the city to relax. Only downside was that there were no working toilets
